Loud, slurring thanks to my first drinkers and readers: the Federles (Andy and Marci; Dennis and Debbie; Mike and Lynne), Brian Elliot, Cheri Steinkellner, Christian Trimmer, Karen Katz, and Victoria D'amato-Moran.
Three cheers to Josh McDonnell and Lauren Mortimer on the knockout design and illustrations throughout.
A glass of roséâeven if we're in publicâfor Brenda Bowen, agent and all-around chief.
And ninety-nine bottles of beer
off
the wall for Jordana Tusman, editor and ally. Thank you for getting this book and for
getting
this book.
